My ZPACKS HEXAMID SOLO PLUS TENT

                 ZPacks™ Hexamid Solo-Plus Tent                 Well I resisted the urge to purchase a Cuben Fiber tent for quite some time but I finally caved in for many good reasons.  A few reasons that I resisted are that generally speaking, anything made of Cuben Fiber tends to be pricey and another is just to resist the […]

ZPACKS GROUNDSHEET PONCHO! Get it you won’t regret it!

        So I’ve got a few other pieces of gear from Zpacks and they are all outstanding!  Needless to say, I’ve have had my eye on the groundsheet poncho for awhile and I finally found some extra cash laying around so I bought it. I’ve only used it once as a poncho and it did exactly what it […]

MT. LECONTE LODGE HIGHLIGHTS 5/9/18 – 5/10/18

                        Okay so I’m just putting up a few pics from my latest hike up to Mt. Leconte lodge.  We had incredible weather and the hike was outstanding.  We were not socked in at all with excellent visibility of Gatlinburg although I failed to take […]

MT. LECONTE HIKE 3/26/18

                                                                ***** *******   We weren’t able to reserve a night at Mt. Leconte Lodge for the spring break 2018 season so we decided […]

FOOTHILLS TRAIL THRU-HIKE 12/3/17 TO 12/8/17 THAT WHITE BLAZE ISNT THE A.T.!

    That might be a white blaze but it isn’t the Appalachian Trail it’s the Foothills Trail!   I knew at least two people who have hiked the Foothills Trail and spoke greatly about it so I knew I would hike it at some point in the future.  The great part is that it’s easily attainable […]

MT. MITCHELL HIKE 5/27/17 TO 5/29/17

        The difference in weather between my last Mt. Mitchell trip which was a week earlier in May and this trip wasn’t much because we got a good portion of rain, again!  But, we had just enough dry in between rains this time to make it a more enjoyable trip which was […]

ANGEL FALLS OVERLOOK HIKE / BANDY CREEK MOUNTAIN BIKE 4/8/17 – 4/10/17

        I’ve done a lot of hikes beginning from Bandy Creek in the Big South Fork but this time we did a one night hike out to Angel Falls Overlook but mixed it up the next night.  This time we hiked back the next day and set up camp at one of […]

MPOWERD LUCI ORIGINAL SOLAR LIGHT FIRST USAGE 4/8/17 – 4/10/17

      My Angel Falls Hike on 4/8/17 – 4/10/17 was my first chance to try out my new MPOWERD Luci Outdoor – Inflatable Solar Light  I hadn’t used this light up to this point so this would be a great trip to give it a try and see how it worked.  When I first saw this light […]

BURKES GARDEN APPALACHIAN TRAIL 1/13/17 – 1/16/17

      This was yet another trip on the Appalachian Trail that turned out better and different than expected.  I’ve been hiking on the AT many times in several states and it’s always a wonderful experience no matter what state or what time of year.  I’ve been to the Grayson Highlands many times because it’s […]

MSR THRU-HIKER MESH HOUSE 2

        I wanted to try out the MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 2 since the first time I saw it but at a standard price of $199.00 I just couldn’t justify it.  But, in due time and a lot of patience it finally went on sale and so I nabbed it.  I think I got it for […]
